OK. But could you explain why? TIA.
Is this still OK for the native Windows build? If so, is it OK to install it in the release branch?Yes and yes. Although I'd urge you to try to figure out why this is needed in the cygwin-w32 build (the native-build problem which led to this code manifested itself in a rather different way, see bug#16014).
Actually, the visual symptom I'm describing (failure of the logo to appear) is identical to what Juanma reported in that bug. Your message in that bug discussion says, "It's again that timing thing with making the initial frame visible." The "again" suggests that there is an earlier bug report or discussion about that. Can you give me a reference or just explain what you meant by that?
